Double Helix

The Profile

Double Helix Games was an American video game developer formed in 2007 through the merger of The Collective and Shiny Entertainment. The studio developed Silent Hill: Homecoming and was acquired by Amazon in 2014.

Californian software house behind Silent Hill: Homecoming; not part of the original Silent Team; soundtrack composed by Akira Yamaoka.

A sharply critical take on Double Helix’s Silent Hill: Homecoming. The review slams the Americanized narrative, cumbersome combat mode, and thin puzzles, while conceding solid graphics, monster design, and Akira Yamaoka’s soundtrack. Overall, it deems the game a significant step down from the early Silent Hill entries.
